Ligand specificities

Family 14 CBMs are modules composed of approximately 70 residues. These modules have been reported to be associated with chitinases [1] and as chitin-binding lectins e.g. an effector protein from the tomato pathogen Pseudoercospora fuligena or Cladosporium fulvum [2, 3], as an antimicrobial lectin-like protein (tachycitin) from horseshoe crab haemocytes [4] and in peritrophic matrix proteins from Malaria vector Anopheles gambia [5]. Members of CBM14 have been shown to bind chitin [5, 6, 7] and chitooligomers [3, 8]. Binding to 50 % acetylated hyaluronan has also been demonstrated [8].

The ligand binding affinities have been quantified for two CBM14 members. The interaction between a human chitotriosidase-1 (CHIT1, characterized as a glycoside hydrolase family 18 (GH18)) CBM14 and (GlcNAc)3 have been investigated with NMR titration experiments and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) displaying a relatively weak interaction of Kd 9.9 ± 0.8 mM [8] and Kd 3.1 ± 0.2 mM [7], respectively.

Interaction studies have also been performed for CBM14 in the fungal tomato pathogen C. fulvum and (GlcNAc)6. Here, the binding properties were measured using ITC yielding a Kd of 6.7 ± 1.5 µM [3].

Structural Features

The structures of CBM14 members have a hevein-like fold commonly made up by a central β-sheet (three anti-parallel β-strands) linked to a small β-sheet (two anti-parallel β-strands) by two aromatic residues. The CBM14 members from tomato pathogens also have an N-terminal α-helix and an extended loop connecting -strands 2 and 3, as well as a C-terminal helical turn [2, 3]. The latter is also present in tachycitin [9]. In addtion, the CBM14 structures have been reported to contain 3-4 disulfide bridges which also serve as a stabilizing effect on this unique fold [1, 3, 9].

With this hevein-like fold and lectin properties, CBM14 is characterized as a Type C CBM [10]. This is in line with the ligand-binding feature seen for the CBM14 associated with CHIT1 (CBM14CHIT1). The binding site is composed of a tryptophan and an asparagine (Trp465 and Asn466) at the C-terminus of this module [8]. These residues create a platform-like binding surface commonly seen in Type A CBMs and could be the reason for why CBM14CHIT1 also is able to bind crystalline chitin. In addition to Trp465 and Asn466, a leucine (Leu454) have been reported [7] to be indirectly involved in binding as it contributes to maintaining a correct orientation for Trp465. Binding between CBM14CHIT1 and chitotriose is likely to occur through CH-π stacking between the side-chain of Trp465 and the middle pyranose ring and hydrogen bonds between the side-chain of Asn466 and the hydrophilic non-reducing end [7].

CBM14 from the tomato pathogen C. fulvum (CfCBM14) was the first of these modules to be co-crystallized with (GlcNAc)6 [3]. Although the fold of CfCBM14 is the same as CBM14CHIT1 and other structurally characterized CBM14 members, the residues responsible for binding differ. Binding of (GlcNAc)6 is mediated by Lys49, Cys50, Met51, Pro53, Lys99, Trp100, Cys101, Asp102 and Tyr103 positioned along a shallow trench in the longitudinal axis of CfCBM14. Mutational studies showed that binding to (GlcNAc)6 was abolished by mutation of Trp100 and Asp102. The main interaction is reported to be a CH-π stacking between Trp100 and GlcNAc-5 aided by Met51 and Pro53 which are both in van der Waal distances to GlcNAc-1 and GlcNAc-3, respectively [3].
